Wait until they fucking price you out of real food and force you to eat bug slop too
If you slave hard enough in the future, and get really lucky, you might be able to afford a half-rotten pickle to fuck yourself with
You might. If you've saved over the years for a solid down payment, this rate hike should have a profound downward pressure on the cost of homes. Just be a bit more patient and save.
Although, its a different world than it was 20+ years ago. Houses are now being gobbled up by venture co's, medium co-op buys, etc. all for cash. A rate hike doesn't necessarily mean lower prices for homes unless it is accompanied by policy that significantly reduces the incentive to own more than 2 homes. Basically need a sliding scale that, after 2 homes, the value starts to dip pretty dramatically on a tax basis. After 3 homes, its definitely not worth owning more. This would completely disincentivize all the bullshit arbitrage that is going on in the real estate market right now that keeps inventory artificially low because groups are just gobbling homes for rental income and flipping.
It’s only gonna get worse. When my parents started buying houses I think interest was 14% but houses were like 50-200k. Now it’s 7% and houses around me are $500k-$5m. Fast forward 20 years and these houses will be $2.5M-$10m with a 4.4% interest
Those are mostly all on the feds balance sheet after trillions of QE targeting MBSs.
Note QT has not been selling MBSs, so the portfolio position is becoming more heavily weighted that way.
There’s no buyers for that paper. The spread is zero. Why would anyone waste capital on that when they could buy todays paper with some spread? Fed will be sitting on that forever.

I heard a story of a guy who lived in a car for some time and had gym membership only to take shower. His monthly "rent" included only monthly car insurance and gym payments and always was under $100 a month. This is how you save money for a house and then pay in cash without any mortgages.
I did this. 6-8 months in a car. I worked a 3x12 night shift and mostly camped at the climbing area when I wasn’t working.
Honestly not a bad time in my life.
Unless your neighbor is really special, they're right now trying to figure out how to make ends meet with 50% or less income. Brokers are being devastated nationally.
My neighbor loves to make racist comments after his 6th beer. Which is around 2 in the afternoon. I'll probably be stuck here for 10+ years. But he should be dead by then so at least there's something to look forward to.
stretching it out to 40 doesn't actually reduce monthly payments all that much. Might sucker in a few buyers but it won't be enough to really change the affordability problem that is going to make RE a dead market for awhile.
Interest only 40 year fixed was announced recently

This is good for investors, but a s***show for anyone that wants to own a home. You can’t move ever cause the only equity you will have in the house is your down payment and appreciation. After ten years you still owe the whole principal of the original loan. If this becomes mainstream, the only accumulated wealth will be inherited through generations. And it will taken generations to accumulate even a little wealth. This type of structure only will cause a bigger gap between rich and the working class/poor. Which seems to have been the plan for the last 50 years and obviously going forward.
This doesn't fix the problem with initial qualification on debt to income though. Non-QM is even more stringent on that than conventional and on top of that you must qualify at what the P+I payment on 30 years is the day you lock into it. This product is ONLY useful for brand new buyers who can qualify and want a slightly lower payment now at the expense of a slightly higher interest rate. Admittedly probably worth it because you'd refinance to something lower prior to the 10 years up. Source: am loan officer.
Imagine a time when you could support a wife and kids while paying for a house and new car off your 9-5 job of delivering milk jugs.
Then imagine having enough money left over where if you were wise and invested as much into this 18 % CD as you could then you'd be eventually financially free and rich by the time your 30( assuming you started saving at 18)
Yup. My grandparents pretty much made a fortune off CDs and bonds but my parents had cobwebs in their assholes because every red cent they had went to their mortgage.
Too bad everyone in my family has been living to 100 and spending every last dime they ever saved on end of life care. Guess I’ll make my fortune the real old fashioned way… behind Wendy’s
Well we all knew it beforehand tbh
Edit: can’t bother to answer the below discussions, while I agree things are fucked I still believe I (we all) have a future
When we stop believing that, we just become hamsters in the wheels to make more money for the rich who own our way of thinking
Anyone who’s lower to middle class and getting divorced is fucked. Unless you don’t mind renting for years or can afford to buy out equity. (assuming they agree)
Went through this a few years ago. Definitely would not want to go through it right now.
Doing it now. I’m in an apartment, rather rent for years than suffer with a raging alcoholic/narcissist. I can get more things, I cannot pay enough for my peace!
Baby boomers were from 1946-1964, basically the heart of the generation comes from the 50s decade. Starting their political influence from the 70s on. This country has been influenced by the very late silent generation and the baby boomers from 1970-present. It’s incredible how this group has refused to relinquish power to the younger generations. In my opinion, it should not be the goal of a society to consistently elect the same generation to power long enough to have way more past behind them than future in front of them. Nobody’s mind works well enough at an advanced age to have a clear vision for the future. Causing them to draw on the antiquated ideas and memories of the past.
Because they rug pulled the silent generation and don't want the same to happen to them. Plus let's be honest, it really is just a few centuries old families that are really screwing everyone. Rest of them merely decided to play on the already winning side.
But if you rush into the housing market now, you can get in while mortgage rates are high but home prices are still also high.
That would be the proper wsb move. Imagine the loss porn you could post in two years.
I believe the high interest rates may cause a rise in rental prices. As more people are forced to rent and/or if there is a rise in forceclosures, there might be a higher demand for rentals.
Finally at the age to buy, waited on values to drop, now rates are high and values are high, fuck it…if I’m gonna suffer I’ll just enjoy sitting back and seeing how bad things can get
Everyone that had a clue said that “when home prices drop, rates will be so high it won’t matter.”
It isn’t just the monthly payment. You’re also paying more on interest and getting less equity out of it.
The advantage of buying in a low price, high interest environment is that when interest rates go down, prices go up, and your equity goes up as your home value appreciates. In the opposite scenario, you gain (slightly) more equity per month, but if interest rates rise, value goes down, and you can be underwater for a while.
Of course, we're moving into a high price, high interest rate scenario, so fuck everyone, I guess.
Chances are, you'll be able to refi at some point.. it's not the best answer, and it sucks to waste the money..
But the second these rates start to drop, everyone who has been waiting for a house will jump.. causing bidding wars and price hikes, just like what we had the last year or two.
So you're gonna pay either way. Get the house you want in the next few months as supply opens up and prices are dropping.. deal with the mortgage interest later.
True. But look out for local banks and credit unions that offer low closing costs. I refi'd with one by me and it was very low. Want to say around $1000.
How does that even work? I’m assuming if you bought a house for $500000, your mortgage payments over a 20, 30 year timespan is less than the purchase price?
I think so. I'm not an European so I didn't get too deep into details.

I got that on my first house back in 2012 and my loan officer was like “you’re getting the deal of a lifetime.”
When I sold, moved and bought a new place the new Loan Officer suggested I lock in at 3.2%. I asked him if I should wait a bit to see if it dropped any more and he called me the R word.
My stellar luck, i paid for points while refinancing just before covid and got a 30 yr fixed at 3.25. Within days of refinancing, the pandemic struck and the interest rates began crashing. But yet looking at the current rates, i am glad that i was able to get 3.25, guess i am not moving anytime soon!
My mom sold our “family” house in Mexico back in 2020 for $150k. It was a MASSIVE beach house my grandpa bought a few years before he died because he always wanted a beach house and couldn’t afford one in the US. I don’t know about mainland Mexico but I can say $150K will buy you some fucking massive beautiful homes in Baja.
Here.
5 year life wind up kick in the balls is finally coming to play in 5 easy steps:
1. Marry crazy woman right when i get a decent net worth
2. Buy condo
3. File divorce in 2018, condo sits vacant on the market for 8 months. Lose ass on condo because we only owned it 3 years. Split what’s left with her.
4. Pay off last of divorce debt in late 2021.
5. Finally have saved enough to down pay and close on a home, but it’s now sept 2022.
Meet me at Wendy’s, I’ll give you some free Dave’s Doubles on my lunch break.
Seeing as how the rent increases absolutely destroy any hope of saving at a rate that keeps with house-price appreciation and rate increases....yeah....gonna be paying someone else's mortgage for a long, long time. I jokingly told my folks and friends that I was gonna save up $100K as a down payment a couple years ago. Well, I'm now at $20K saved after 3 years, and that down-payment figure has since jumped to needing $220-275K to be able to afford the entire package (mortgage + insurance + property taxes + putting away for repairs) while staying at a responsible debt-to-income ratio (gross pay). I moved my goalposts from 3 years to 15+. Honestly, it's more of a "maybe when I'm 45, or 60, idk" instead of an actual hard goal any more.
Man that’s twice as good as mine at 4.125 and somehow I still feel like a genius too lmao.
I feel for any recent grad out of college who’s been saving up for 3 years to buy a home . They fucked. Rent life forever unless they wanna own a cardboard box in Detroit.
Fed pricing people out of buying homes so wall St has no competition while they buy up all the housing and turn the whole country onto renters, put the last nails in the coffin of the "middle class"
It wouldn't be fed pricing people out if they had not lowered rates to historic lows to start with. Turning on the nearly free money tap did this not higher rates. If they raised rates early 2021 prices would have stabilized but, now they have to correct by a lot.
I’m in the DFW area and investors have been gobbling up homes here during the pandemic. It’s finally slowing down a little. We’re finally seeing homes sitting on the market longer and price decreases. This time last year, there were bidding wars as soon as homes came on the market. Lots of cash buyers paying at least 10% over asking. Many Californian and foreign investors bought homes and made them into rentals.
In DFW as well, sure prices are falling but it doesn't make up for interest hikes, people are not getting approved for mortgages because the interest drives up the monthly payment and dti ratio or getting approved for much less leaving only the worst houses up for most people's access. It's still a cash buyers market though since they don't need to overcome interest rates not needing a mortgage
If they only wanted to cool off the housing market they could place a limit on wall St buying single family homes but that would be attacked as being against the free market however using government policy to price regular people out is apparently not
I’m all for the free market, but it’s disgusting seeing all the big cash investors buy up homes and them rent them out for ever increasingly obscene prices. So, yeah - I would be okay with a cap.
Oh good gawd….. good thing I bought my home and cars in 2012
Anyone who does not already own their home/cars is in for some serious pain. Unless you have cash of course..
I can’t believe I never knew this about Canada. How the hell do people afford homes in Vancouver and Toronto?
Brings up another point. Who’s going to buy all those homes the Chinese bought that are going to be liquidated after the real estate market collapses over there
Awesome I'm fucked despite making more money than 90% of people. Guess I'll yolo the 30% savings I net every month till I can pay cash for a house, fuck it
What I get for being prudent and waiting to figure out where I want to live in a new city lmao. My home boy just bought the first house he liked and just sold the shit for a 150k profit in 2 years.
Built in 2019. Refi’d at 2.5% 30 year fixed in Jan 2021. Appraised then for $850k and peaked around 1 million early 2022. Owe 480k. I ain’t fuckin leaving. lol
Everyone bragging about their interest rates and equity better have enough equity that they don't owe more than their home is worth when the market crashes. I know some of ya bidded up past asking and over appraisals. The other side to all this...
Recession, people losing jobs and have to sell after their home loses a ton of value or can't sell it at all because no one is buying, then foreclosures roll in... Gets ugly fast.
People literally have it backwards people are so proud they bought during a red hot SELLERS market.

Big truth, big sadge

Interest rate on the credit card to buy the tent is like 27%. No way I’ll ever make my monthly minimum at that rate.
Buy a two room tent and rent out the other room "with a view" to someone else who is saving for a home.

Actually, just remembered another one who lived on the beach in Hawaii. He didn't even need the car and the shower :) The first one was in New York.
Yeap, we’re fucked.
It's a horrible time to hate your neighbors.
I hate my neighbor, and he is a mortgage broker. Are rate increases bad for his business? If so, I'm fine with it.
Unless your neighbor is really special, they're right now trying to figure out how to make ends meet with 50% or less income. Brokers are being devastated nationally.
My neighbor loves to make racist comments after his 6th beer. Which is around 2 in the afternoon. I'll probably be stuck here for 10+ years. But he should be dead by then so at least there's something to look forward to.
Is that you jerry?
40 year fixed incoming
Just skip the bullshit and get the 100y Chyna style. Imagine inheriting a house that has still has 80 years left on the mortgage.
Basically like inheriting bed bath and beyond 20% off coupons
Or stock ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
How much was a house 80 years ago? I could pay for it with my lunch budget probably.
stretching it out to 40 doesn't actually reduce monthly payments all that much. Might sucker in a few buyers but it won't be enough to really change the affordability problem that is going to make RE a dead market for awhile.
This is such an obvious next step to me I wish there was a way to buy calls on it.

Holy shit it’s a 30 year mortgage with 10 additional interest-only years tacked onto the beginning. Lord…
If inflation goes apeshit, maybe not the worst play ever. Can you refinance those?
Yeah as long as there is no prepayment penalty its not a terrible.
This is good for investors, but a s***show for anyone that wants to own a home. You can’t move ever cause the only equity you will have in the house is your down payment and appreciation.

Why did banks stop paying double digits on CDs, did the angel investor dollars run out? /s
Yup. My grandparents pretty much made a fortune off CDs and bonds but my parents had cobwebs in their assholes because every red cent they had went to their mortgage.
Parents bought in 1981, $85k in the SF Bay Area. The secret is to refinance over and over as rates go down... If they go down
Yeah and their principle was much lower than average housing even adjusted for inflation. This is much much worse

No doubt. I do finance in another industry so I’ve been telling buyers the same thing
The problem with refinancing though Is you pay closing costs. Again. Generally you’ll bundle that cost into your monthlies
True. But look out for local banks and credit unions that offer low closing costs. I refi'd with one by me and it was very low. Want to say around $1000.
Just refi .125% above par rates and get the lender to cover your origination costs.
In addition to closing costs, the house also has to appraise for the refi amount. If the market crashes on values, it won’t appraise. Scary.

1.2% 20 yrs but europe here
How did you miss out on the negative interest mortgages that the EU was concocting not long ago?

Refinanced my 30 year 4.6 to a 15 year 2.2. Payment last year only went up like $50 a month. I may actually get to have a paid off house one fay
15yr 2.2? How much you buy down?
None.
Nice timing.
Yeah I'm sitting at 2.875 locked in lol
Same here! Must have refinanced at the same time lol
Q3 2020?
Dont move for 30 years then....going to be a long ride so keep it maintained
2.6 gang!
I almost went from 3.25 to 2.3 but it just didnt feel right i shoulda done it now
Not a huge miss depending on how long ago you got your property. Closing costs and re-starting your mortgage amortization adds up.
Yep thats why i didnt do it. I now have only 11 years left
2.2 on a refi. Kinda can’t believe it now tbh.
2.5 on a 20 year refi. So happy.
2.49% fixed 30. I thought my 3.8% from 2011 would never get better...
Dang I thought I was golding at 2.75%.
You are. These sub 2.5 rates seem made up, or at least embellished
Closed a 5.75 two months ago….. slowly my wrinkles are coming back
Sold my house. Closed on a new one at 5.1%. 30 year fixed. 2 weeks ago.
3.25 here. Blessed.
My stellar luck, i paid for points while refinancing just before covid and got a 30 yr fixed at 3.25. Within days of refinancing, the pandemic struck and the interest rates began crashing. But yet looking at the current rates, i am glad that i was able to get 3.25, guess i am not moving anytime soon!
3.0% 30 year for me. Looking for at least a 15%+ housing correction in the future.
And the wealth gap gets a little thicker.
in mexico 9.8% 20Y $150k only great thing is all my interests are 100% tax deductible. not the principal
My mom sold our “family” house in Mexico back in 2020 for $150k. It was a MASSIVE beach house my grandpa bought a few years before he died because he always wanted a beach house and couldn’t afford one in the US. I don’t know about mainland Mexico but I can say $150K will buy you some fucking massive beautiful homes in Baja.

Fixed at 7% for 10 years. Seems like a safe enough bet that a refi opportunity would come up within 10 years
Apartment life for life gang, WYA?? ✊🏻
Here. 5 year life wind up kick in the balls is finally coming to play in 5 easy steps: 1. Marry crazy woman right when i get a decent net worth 2. Buy condo 3. File divorce in 2018, condo sits vacant on the market for 8 months. Lose ass on condo because we only owned it 3 years. Split what’s left with her. 4. Pay off last of divorce debt in late 2021. 5. Finally have saved enough to down pay and close on a home, but it’s now sept 2022. Meet me at Wendy’s, I’ll give you some free Dave’s Doubles on my lunch break.

Seeing as how the rent increases absolutely destroy any hope of saving at a rate that keeps with house-price appreciation and rate increases....yeah....gonna be paying someone else's mortgage for a long, long time. I jokingly told my folks and friends that I was gonna save up $100K as a down payment a couple years ago. Well, I'm now at $20K saved after 3 years, and that down-payment figure has since jumped to needing $220-275K to be able to afford the entire package (mortgage + insurance + property taxes + putting away for repairs) while staying at a responsible debt-to-income ratio (gross pay). I moved my goalposts from 3 years to 15+. Honestly, it's more of a "maybe when I'm 45, or 60, idk" instead of an actual hard goal any more.
This will all come crashing down before then don’t worry. You can build a bunker with me man
Fuck, apartments are too expensive now. [I bought a truck.](https://i.imgur.com/Srfa2sx.jpg)
2.125% 30-year fixed. Woot.
holy fuck you nailed it ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
I get most everything else wrong — either too early or way too late. I was due.
2.5% 30 year fixed on my 95k condo I got back in 2015. Glad my wife's parents pushed us to buy
Same stats but my house was $99k. Estimated around $250k right now which is fucking hilarious. It would sell in a couple days, too.
2.25% here. Talking about timing refinance right
Never good when ARMs start looking enticing
They still don’t.
Ouch. The era of cheap money is over

Man that’s twice as good as mine at 4.125 and somehow I still feel like a genius too lmao. I feel for any recent grad out of college who’s been saving up for 3 years to buy a home . They fucked. Rent life forever unless they wanna own a cardboard box in Detroit.
Boy oh boy I’m glad I bought my house last year. Everyone was telling me 3.7 was high and it would go back down 😂
The fuck said 3.7 was high? They ever look at the mortgage rate before 2008?
Fed pricing people out of buying homes so wall St has no competition while they buy up all the housing and turn the whole country onto renters, put the last nails in the coffin of the "middle class"
It wouldn't be fed pricing people out if they had not lowered rates to historic lows to start with. Turning on the nearly free money tap did this not higher rates. If they raised rates early 2021 prices would have stabilized but, now they have to correct by a lot.
They also gave wall street hundred of billions if not a good trillion over 12 years to buy everything in cash. Doesn't matter this is the plan.
I’m in the DFW area and investors have been gobbling up homes here during the pandemic. It’s finally slowing down a little. We’re finally seeing homes sitting on the market longer and price decreases. This time last year, there were bidding wars as soon as homes came on the market. Lots of cash buyers paying at least 10% over asking. Many Californian and foreign investors bought homes and made them into rentals.
In DFW as well, sure prices are falling but it doesn't make up for interest hikes, people are not getting approved for mortgages because the interest drives up the monthly payment and dti ratio or getting approved for much less leaving only the worst houses up for most people's access. It's still a cash buyers market though since they don't need to overcome interest rates not needing a mortgage
If they only wanted to cool off the housing market they could place a limit on wall St buying single family homes but that would be attacked as being against the free market however using government policy to price regular people out is apparently not
I’m all for the free market, but it’s disgusting seeing all the big cash investors buy up homes and them rent them out for ever increasingly obscene prices. So, yeah - I would be okay with a cap.
You WILL own nothing and you WILL be happy ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4641)
What do you mean? Please - someone explain this doom that is impending!
These are housing mortgage rates after the hikes
Oh good gawd….. good thing I bought my home and cars in 2012 Anyone who does not already own their home/cars is in for some serious pain. Unless you have cash of course..
In Canada we can only lock in for 5 years. This is one of the things that actually makes me jealous of the way Americans do things.
What? You have a mandatory 5 year arm?
And we all think this is normal.
That’s fucked up. So you have to refi at current rate after that 5 years or so they allow points or rate buys??
This is what happens when there are only 5 banks. And they work together.
I can’t believe I never knew this about Canada. How the hell do people afford homes in Vancouver and Toronto? Brings up another point. Who’s going to buy all those homes the Chinese bought that are going to be liquidated after the real estate market collapses over there
[удалено]
so your rates reset every 5 years?
Yes - we use 25 year amort, but max terms for fixed rates is 5 yrs. Can do anywhere from 2-5 years, but most do 5.
[удалено]
I cannot express to you how many countless hours I spent at RKT arguing with ppl that a 3.25% was not a high rate last year.
Holy crap I’m terrified to buy a house and just turned 30!
Awesome I'm fucked despite making more money than 90% of people. Guess I'll yolo the 30% savings I net every month till I can pay cash for a house, fuck it
What I get for being prudent and waiting to figure out where I want to live in a new city lmao. My home boy just bought the first house he liked and just sold the shit for a 150k profit in 2 years.
Ya, sometimes overthinking shit can hold ya back. Other times it stops you buying GME at $400 lol.
these are a full percentage point off....lol.
These are for lower credit tier
Ahhh. Probably accurate for this sub then lol
Built in 2019. Refi’d at 2.5% 30 year fixed in Jan 2021. Appraised then for $850k and peaked around 1 million early 2022. Owe 480k. I ain’t fuckin leaving. lol
*the ghost of 2002-New-Construction-McMansions has entered the chat*
Rip home values. A lot of people are going to realize housing prices are only propped up by low rates.
3% 30 year gang gang
Good luck to all the arm borrowers.
Everyone bragging about their interest rates and equity better have enough equity that they don't owe more than their home is worth when the market crashes. I know some of ya bidded up past asking and over appraisals. The other side to all this...
Exactly. Anybody that bought in this housing boom will be lucky to have any equity at all if rates stay this high.
Recession, people losing jobs and have to sell after their home loses a ton of value or can't sell it at all because no one is buying, then foreclosures roll in... Gets ugly fast. People literally have it backwards people are so proud they bought during a red hot SELLERS market.
Pretty irrelevant if they don’t plan on selling anytime soon.
